Five professors join the
ranks of noted science fellows

BY MARK SHWARTZ

Five Stanford University professors are among 348 newly
elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science (AAAS), the world's largest federation of
scientists.

Eve
Clark, James Collman, Russell Fernald, Harry Greenberg and W. E.
Moerner were chosen "because of their efforts to advance science or
applications that are deemed scientifically or socially
distinguished," according to a statement by the AAAS Office of
Public Programs in Washington, D.C. New fellows will be presented
with a certificate and a pin on Feb. 14, 2004, during the AAAS
annual meeting in Seattle.

Eve V. Clark, professor of linguistics, was selected
for outstanding contributions to the field of child language
acquisition through groundbreaking research, conference
organization and the development of vital research
tools.

James P. Collman, the George A. and Hilda M. Daubert
Professor of Chemistry, was honored for significant contributions
to the basic understanding of transition metal-based catalysis in
organic and biochemical systems.

Russell D. Fernald, the Benjamin Scott Crocker
Professor of Human Biology in the Department of Psychology, was
chosen for distinguished service as a master teacher of animal
behavior and human biology, and as an investigator of vision and
the neural and neuroendocrine bases of behavior.

Harry B. Greenberg, the Joseph D. Grant Professor in
the School of Medicine, was elected for fundamental studies of the
biology of human viruses, particularly for studies of immunity to
and pathogenesis of rotaviruses.

W. E. Moerner, the Harry S. Mosher Professor in the
Department of Chemistry, was singled out for pioneering
developments that launched the field of single molecular
spectroscopy and for its application to crystals, polymers and
biomolecules.

Founded in 1848, AAAS works to advance science for human
well-being through its projects, programs and publications,
including the journal Science. The tradition of AAAS fellows
began in 1874.
